Brackets enclose optional syntax items. For example:
INFO [ , DETAIL ]
A group of items enclosed in brackets is a list from which you can choose one item or
none. The items in the list can be arranged either vertically, with aligned brackets on each
side of the list, or horizontally, enclosed in a pair of brackets and separated by vertical
lines. For example:
FC [ num ] [ -num ] [ text ]
K [ X | D ] address
{ } Braces
A group of items enclosed in braces is a list from which you are required to choose one
item. The items in the list can be arranged either vertically, with aligned braces on each
side of the list, or horizontally, enclosed in a pair of braces and separated by vertical
lines. For example:
LISTOPENS PROCESS { $appl-mgr-name } { $ process-name } { ,
PROCESSORLIST ( processor-list ) | ALL }
| Vertical Line
A vertical line separates alternatives in a horizontal list that is enclosed in brackets or
braces. For example:
INSPECT { OFF | ON | SAVEABEND }
… Ellipsis
An ellipsis immediately following a pair of brackets or braces indicates that you can
repeat the enclosed sequence of syntax items any number of times. For example:
M address [ , new-value ]... [ - ] {0|1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9}...
An ellipsis immediately following a single syntax item indicates that you can repeat that
syntax item any number of times. For example:
"s-char..."

$process-name.#su-name
